Hi Alfred and Mary:
I'm going to jump into your correspondence and interject another Jeremiah and Edmund from McMinn, TN.My Jeremiah (b. 1803 - 1806 in NC census records) is found in McMinn TN in 1840, Walker GA in 1850, Chattooga GA in 1860, Calhoun AL 1886 State census, and 1870 in Marshall AL.His first wife Sarah Elizabeth apparently died between 1860 and 1866 and he married Eliza A Quinn King (widow of Silas King on the 1860 census of Chattooga GA) as the wife on the 1866 Alabama census is too young to be Sarah.My gg grandmother, his eldest child, never married and lived her entire life with her son (my great grandfather) Thomas J. Benton.I have a hunch (no proof) that Robert A Benton and Jeremiah were brothers, perhaps sons of Edmund Benton who died in McMinn TN about 1846.Has anyone ever figured out the relationship between these Bentons from NC and McMinn TN?
